Dear Friends,

On behalf of Distressed Children & Infants International (DCI), we cordially invite you, your family, and friends to join our 3rd Annual Conference on Child Rights and Sight on Saturday, September 10, 2011 at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. This exciting opportunity is organized by Distressed Children & Infants International (DCI) in partnership with Yale UNICEF, Rights & Sight for Children (RSC) and Eye Surgery Associates to coincide with Child Rights Week and World Sight Day. Please join us for a day full of comprehensive, enlightening, and educational talks, followed by a relaxing evening of networking.  See the attached flyer for more details.

The Conference on Child Rights & Sight gathers a wide variety of leaders involved in promoting child rights, stopping child labor, alleviating poverty, and preventing blindness nationally and internationally.  The goal of the conference is three-fold: to raise awareness of child rights in local, national, and international communities, to discuss key issues of poverty in the 21st century, and to provide a forum for discussing creative, community-driven methods for alleviating child labor, hunger, and poverty around the world. To date, speakers include President of the UNICEF Executive Committee, Dr. A.K. Abdul Momen, and other leading national and international experts in the fields of child rights, blindness prevention and child poverty.
